Fact-checking Trump's exaggerated claims that Democratic-run states are 'shut down'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump keeps saying that Democratic-run states are "closed" or "shut down."

Trump has repeatedly made such accusations in the past week. At the final presidential debate on Thursday night, he singled out New York, North Carolina, California, Pennsylvania and Michigan -- even claiming that Michigan is so restrictive, it has been "like a prison."

And in a Wisconsin interview last Saturday, Trump claimed that the state is "shut down" and "locked down."

Facts First: Trump is exaggerating. Though all of these states still have some significant pandemic-related restrictions, they are all allowing people to leave their homes and allowing most businesses to operate.
